Question

New to this site and trying to gather information for my mother,
My father, a Vietnam vet and 100% VA rated passed away in Feb of 2011 from a heart attack. I filed a DIC claim on my mother behalf in March of 2011. I found out this week, Aug 2011, the DIC claim is in, Nehmer limbo. While going through one of my father’s old VA claims I saw he had been denied a claim for a, “heart condition” in 1986. No other description was given. If the heart condition claim denied in 1986 falls under the Nehmer guidelines does that mean it is retroactive back to 1986 and that my mother is entitled to the retroactive payment? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
